Description

This photo was taken by Colin Butcher. It shows the sign he painted.

Colin comments: 'The event was ‘days to do’ before returning to the UK !!! Not very clever as soon after we deployed to Kuwait and returned to the UK the following year on the troopship ‘Navassa'. A lot of days later than painted on the board !

Left with the dog is 'Ginge' Burrell.
